WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.-A decision
was rendered in the novel and interesting
international case of the king of the Bel
gians, by Charles Mali, consul, against
the keeper of the common Jail of Hudson
county. New Jersey. On the 10th of last
October there occurred on board the
Belgian steamer Noordland, lying at her
dock in jersey City, a fight between her
sailors, in the course Of which one of
them, named Wildcnhus, stabbed and
killed another, named Frigens, both
Belgian subjects. The police authorities
arrested the murderer and two other
sailors who were witnesses of the fight,
and imprisoned them in the Jersey City
jail. The Belgian consul, acting
under instructions from his government,
demanded the release of all the prisoners,
on the ground that the crime was Gem
mitted within the jurisdiction of the king
dom of Belgium. and that under the law
of nations and treaty between Belgium,
and the United States he, as consul, had
sole authority in the premises The de-
mand for the release of the prisoners
was refused, whereupon the consul sued
out a writ Of habeas corpus, and upon the
dismissal of hat writ by the United
States circuit court, he brought the case
to this court by appeal.
Justice Waite, speaking for the court
in this case, says: THE principle which
governs the whole matter is this: Dis
orders which disturb only the peace of
the ship or those on board are to be dealt
with exclusively by the sovereignty of
the home of the ship; but those which
disturb the reposc of the people on shore
may be suppressed, and if need be the
offenders punished by the proper authori-
ties Of local jurisdiction. 1t may not be
easy at all times to determine to which
of the two Jurisdictions the particular act
of disorder belongs. Much will I'M
doubtedly depend on attending circum-
stances of a particular case, but all must
corcede that Il felonious homicide is a sub
iect for local jurisdiction and if the proper
authorities are proceeding with the case
IN a regular manner, the consul has no
right to Interfere to prevent"
The decree of the circuit court dismiss
ing the writ OF habeas corpus is affirmed.

CLEVELAND, Jan. l0.-The testimony
before Coroner Hopper in the inquest
over the Baltimore 4 Ohio wreck this
forenoon at Tifin, o., was principally
aimed at the Identification of persons who
persisted.
Robert Chamberlain, of Republic, the
undertaken who took charge of the bodies
of the victims, testified that he took
eleven bodies from the wreck, and is
positive that more persons persisted.
Alfred Tompkins, of Republic also tes-
tilted, corroborating the evidence of
Chamberlain. He said the workmen in
clearing up the wreck paid no attention to
charred rem aims, which were shovelled off
the track with other debris. 1T seemed, "

cover up all they could.

LONDON, Jan. l0.-The composition of
the new cabinet was announced this even

for foreign affairs; the Right Hon. W.

Right Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary
of state for war; and Sir Henry Holland,
secretary of state for the colonies. There
is no change in other cabinet officers.
The earl of Iddesleigh repulsed Lord
S%alisbury's offer of the privy seal. Lord
lddesleigh denies that the condition of
his health debars him from accepting
that onerous Office, and he withdraws
from Office life under a strong impression
that he has been i'll treated. His person.
al friends explain that he proffered his
resignation to enable Lord Salisbury to
form a coalition cabinet. When the
prime minister's efforts in hat direction
failed, Lord Iddesleigh considered him
self entitled to hold the leading portfolio.
His son, Lord st. Cyres, in a letter, con-
tradicts his alleged i'll health. He says
his father, family, friends and medical
advisers concur in the opinion that the
interesting duties Of the foreign office
have had a very beneficial effect upon the
earl health, and that he is now stronger
than at any time since he left the house
Of commons.
Lord S~alisbury's supporters respond
that they are glad to get rid of Lord Iddes-
leigh as his health was of no benefit to
the foreign office
